Barber for sure and I'd go Jacobs over Lynch just because I don't know how much Buffalo moves the ball on Seattle.

QB, you have to go with Anderson. Rivers will have a good game but Anderson is the top QB who will have to throw to keep up with Dallas.

Baltimore will run a ton against Cincy's D. I like Tony G against New England since the Chiefs will be passing all the time after half.

Like Jake said, Barber for sure. I would go Lynch over Jacobs, but that is essentially a toss-up.

Derek Anderson at QB, and I also like Gonzo.

One last Question,

I have both NE and Philly Defense. One counts

Philly is projected to do better in week one barely but I think NE at home vs KC is the way to go! right?

So I crushed in week 1 despite Ocho Cinco, Colston, and Anderson. I Started LJ smith after all and even now dropped Heap for the Tenn TE. I got Eliis Hobbs for defense to go with Terrence Mcgee. I will start Rivers next week I think.

You dropped Heap for Schaife? I wish you luck but that is a classic case of making a bad move based on one week. It's just one week so try not to put too much into it.

Heap was my third TE. I got Gonzales, LJ Smith and now Shaife. Its really just a small move. Only one TE counts.

A better question might be why do you have so many TEs?

I don't like TG or LJ enough in my 8 team league!

Starters

Anderson QB
Barber RB
Jacobs RB
Colston WR
Ocho Cinco WR
Ward WR
Gonzales TE
NE DEF
Terrence Mcgee D
Akers K

Bench

Lynch RB

And the reason why I can play in Back ups!

Rivers QB
LJ Smith TE
BO .. TE
Kerrigan WR
Rice WR
Hobbs D
Philly Def

8 team leugue leaves many on free agents


JT I would love to invite you to be co-manager, you would die if you saw the free agents available, no limit on moves!

A quick update.

Our league counts return yards and that makes all the difference in the world. I was quick to recognize this and have changed everything before others caught on!

I have

Jonnie Lee Higgins, Dante Hall, and Hester as my top WR's. Higgins is the top point player at WR for the season in my league.

Crazy I know.

Just to give you an idea... Sproles is the top point man at RB.

well thats a strange league but you made a good read recognizing that and adapting, that flexibility and creativity is the basis of fantasy football so great job
